Everyone wears the watch on the left or opposite hand. Ever wondered why this happens? People have been wearing it like this for years or is there any reason behind it? The same question was asked on the online platform Quora. Many users gave their opinions on this. But what is the right answer? Let us know the scientific reason behind this in the Strange Knowledge series.
First of all, most people work with their right hand. Since the right hand is often busy, there is no problem in keeping the watch on the left hand and checking the time again and again. By tying a watch on the left hand, it remains safe and there is no risk of falling. This is the reason why most companies make watches keeping the left hand in mind. In olden times, many people kept their watches in their pockets rather than keeping them on their wrists. This tradition became very popular during the farmers’ struggle in South Africa. Most of the people from elite families and officials kept watches in this way. This is a common thing, now know the scientific facts also.

If you look carefully, the table clock is always kept straight. While keeping the clock on the stand, the number 12 remains on top all the time. We hang the clock on the wall in the same way. In such a situation, our reading always starts from 12. If you wear the watch on your right hand instead of your left hand, then the number of 12 will go down and the order will be reversed. In such a situation, you will have difficulty in taking readings. As long as automatic watches were in vogue, many people used to wear them on both their hands. When tied in the opposite hand, the key remained outwards, due to which there was difficulty in filling the key, because when tied in the right hand, it turned inwards. Now you must have understood the real reason for this.
